You're right but that's more of a reason to fight on. All great civil rights movements occurring in the U.S. were not started by people outside of the group pursuing their civil right but by the group itself. Imagine if blacks had called it quits following MLK's assassination?

I've said before that I believe the only way to take the extreme out of extreme Muslimism is to empower the Muslim women.

Malala and her father could become a Rosa Parks moment in that movement.
